    My First Water Hunts - Woo Hoo!

    I've been vacationing this week at Lake Mattawa, MA at my Mother-In-Law's camp. Last weekend I found the long lost platinum ring for a friend of the family... http://www.findmall.com/read.php?79,1933079 Here are a couple of shots of other things I've found. Got the bracelet in 5 1/2 feet of...

    No picture...but please read.

    OK, I'm in northern MA at my Mom-In-Law's camp next to a small lake. Barb's (my wife) cousin's wife tells me that our neighbor's son lost his $2000 platinum wedding ring off their dock four years ago (topic came up during metal detecting talk). I have never done any water hunting before, but...

    Bertha "Peterbilt" Bubblebutt's Ring

    Well, not really, although when I dug it, I had horrible visions of being stalked by a massive thing just on the cusp of being classified as homo sapiens. Hunted a baseball field located directly behind an older church early this morning. Very first plug was a 1953-D Rosie...this should be a...

    Weird Day With Weird Stuff

    Did a few swings at an older "home for wayward youth" yesterday for an hour and came up with an AA 1-month token and a couple of clad. I was sweating so a couple of extra beers were toasted for the token. Went out for about 1.5 hours with Butch near some old sidewalks today, but the...

    Weekend Highlights: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life

    Despite the drizzle and wet dirt in Upstate New York, I managed a couple of hours at an old school and church. Got a bunch of clad and several Wheaties, and lots of Canadian pennies. All of the Canadian pennies were new except for the 1907 Large Cent pictured. I was really excited about the...

    It's Worn - MyTwo Cents Worth

    Rain, rain, go away; let me metal detect today. Between the 3.5 inches this week from thunderstorms and the non-stop rain here in upstate NY for the last 24 hours, not much detecting has been done. I managed an hour yesterday in the light rain at a nearby church yard. This thing rang up as...

    You Never Know...!

    I hit the front yard and driveway of this old farm house one afternoon and got a nice 1916 Merc and 06 IH. Went back Thursday last week and started swinging. Got a nice tone (85 VDI) in the dirt/grass driveway but it disappeared when swinging the other directions (90,180,270 degrees). Odd...

    This Week's Mini-Hunts

    In addition to several Wheaties and clad, here are the best from a series of "mini-hunts" this week (mini-hunt = 1/2 - 1 hour after work or spur of the moment quickie). The 1943 Merc and Indian Heat were from and abandoned house in a nice suburban neighborhood; must go back soon. The 5"x8"...

    Couple of Short Hunts in Northern NY

    Hit a school area (old school that was torn down years ago and replaced with a new one) that is very close to the Canadian border. No silver, but managed a V nickel and a couple of bling things.Will have to hit again; I know that silver is there! aj

    Lessons Learned From This Merc

    Pulled this 1943 Mercury yesterday from an old local one room schoolhouse which is now somewhat abandoned. However, I learned a great deal from this little guy that I felt compelled to pass on. First, this is the trashiest place I've ever hunted; the iron bits and crap makes for a continuous...

    Another Quickie...Quarter

    Another quick hour in the old schoolyard gets a Wheatie, 3 marvelous pulltabs, and this beauty. I cannot over emphasize the importance of slow methodical sweeping with the AT Pro. I know I have swept this part of the area before, but patience, Patience, PATIENCE really does pay off. For those...

    A Quickie Gets Merc

    Woo hoo. Went to an old standby schoolyard for an hour after work. After the usual clad, this pops out under a root. 1916-S. aj

    Detecting With Butch...Bling!

    Detecting with Butch was a lot of fun yesterday. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?79,1885535 Picked up some great "bling" and a well-worn Indian Head yesterday swinging in a neighborhood that was not part of the top 1%. I found the Rosie in an old schoolyard and the charm bracelet using...

    Moooo!

    Started off at a familiar old school yard,then hit an early one room schoolhouse, then back to the schoolyard. I was hoping the Play Money wasn't a harbinger of the day, but things turned out happily. aj

    Finally...Thawed Ground...With Silver

    Upstate NY is finally thawing out and the grounds are getting diggable. Went to an old schoolyard (been hitting it hard in the Fall, but it takes time to cover) and managed 3 Rosies, lots of Wheats, and a couple of...things. On the right is a great baseball pin; on the left is something I have...

    Pre-Blizzard Finds...Awesome!

    Blizzard, schmizzard. Well, I hope and pray those to the south deal with the predicated blizzard conditions well. Here in Albany, we should get 12"-14"; just enough to slow us down for a day. So, before the anti-metal detecting weather settles in, I went in to the woods and attempted to chop...

    The ground is frozen, but...

    I went out anyway. Last Tuesday and Wednesday we had temperatures around 50F here in Albany, NY, just enough to thaw a little. Went to a familiar old school yard today despite temperatures in the teens. The first 2 inches were frozen but, the next few, the few that counts, were not. It was...
